Doing sports or exercises is inevitable to every human being, and most schools try to convince kids that doing sports can be fun as well. My school did that too with the sport day. I was excited about it because I did not know what to expect as a freshman in my new school.
It was a cold October morning when the bell rang as the students were waiting anxiously in their respective homerooms. Pretty normal. Except it wasn't just any normal day, it was sport day. That meant no studying that day, so we didn't need to pack any of our books.
At the beginning of the sport day, every single student of the school had to run or walk 2020 metres around the school. The last kids got to the finish in about 45 minutes. After the run, everyone could decide what do they want to do for the rest of the day. Some students went to the outskirt of the town by their bicycle. The other ones could choose which sport do they want to play.
The schedule consisted of a few basketball matches at 9:00, football at 11:00, and volleyball at 13:00.
Meanwhile those who were not part of the teams could stay and watch the games, cheering occasionally, or take a walk around the city (with teachers trailing behind them, of course). The rest of the day was a blur. We watched as our teams won and lost, but still enjoy the games nonetheless. At the end of the day the rankings were announced, and we did great overall. After the announcement our teacher congratulated us, and we went home.
This day was also great because we did not have to study. Furthermore, we could leave earlier than usual, so that was a plus point as well.
All in all, the whole day was great and I cannot wait for the next sport day.
